"When you're 10, they call you a prodigy. When you're 15, they call you a genius. Once you hit 20, you're just an ordinary person." -Nanase Haruka

You couldn't agree more with this statement. At age 10, people began to call you a prodigy. You excelled in sports and academics. Everyone called you the school idol. You were only in elementary. You could do anything except for fighting. You had never been in a fight before. You're 12 and you're still being called a genius. You haven't changed at all. Not one bit. The only thing that changed was your surroundings. You were to transfer into Namimori Middle, a school you had never heard of.

"[Name], come down! Breakfast is ready!" Your mother called.

Due to your father's job, you had to transfer schools a lot. Your mother didn't seem to mind but you did. You didn't know much about your family. In fact, you never had any friends. You were quiet and didn't talk to anyone because you knew you wouldn't ever see them again. But this time was different. It had been confirmed by your mom that you were staying in this household, forever. You could finally make friends. Only if you had the intentions to.

"It's supposed to rain today so make sure to take your umbrella to school today. Also, wear your rain boots! It's going to be a long and big shower!" Your mother called after you as you left.

"Alright mom!" You said.

Who was it that you resembled? You couldn't get your thoughts together as you played with your memory. Ah, it was that person you saw in a television series. Yes, it had to be that person. If anything, the two of you were so similar. You resembled Oreki Houtarou from the show Hyouka.

You had no clue what you wanted in life. If anything, you just wanted to get through life as quickly as possible. There was no need for a happy and joyful middle school life. No, you didn't want your life to be that rosy. You'd rather live in the shadows. No one would know you. You'd just be going in, going through, and getting out.

"Now, isn't that a little too cliche?" You said, laughing to yourself.

"What's so cliche?" A voice asked, interrupting your thought process.

Now if a voice came out of nowhere, anyone would be shocked. You jumped up in surprise and slowly turned to see the owner of the voice. Standing behind you was a boy with a wonderful brunette hair. He had a smile on his face. Next to him was a white haired boy who was scowling and a boy with short black hair laughing. Wonderful. First day in and you already ran into people. Not only that, they attended your school. You could tell by the uniform.

"What uniform is that?" The black haired boy asked.

You looked down and saw your old uniform on you. You had made a mistake.

"Could you be the new transfer student?" He continued.

You nodded your head.

"But you're wearing the wrong uniform idiot." The white haired boy commented.

"Gokudera-kun, apologize." Brunette scolded. He continued, "Did you forget it?"

"Yeah, I guess I did."

"Well, I'd lend you a spare. But, I'm a boy so I don't have the girls uniform."

"It's fine." You told him.

"But the teacher will get mad."

"I'll tell him we didn't purchase it yet."

You then turned around and walked ahead. It was fine if you were being cruel. You didn't want to get through all the trouble of talking or making friends. What you didn't notice was the brunette frowning as he followed after you.

"Well, she's a hard one." He said. His frown suddenly changed into a smirk.

"But I'm sure she'll be a great add to our family."

Author's Note

Well, I'm pretty sure this character is the female version of Oreki Houtarou. No, I'm positive. Jeez, why does a girl in middle school have that personality already? That's no good. By the way, if I had to suggest an OST that would fit this chapter it'd be Mikansei Stride -Piano Version-. Try listening to it, the uploader is Animenzzz. Also, the next chapter will be told in first person.
